Went back to the gallery on Tuesday to take some more photos of my work whilst there weren’t many people around. The lady at the desk said that she had to tell some women off for picking up my books. The funny thing is, I’d blue tacked most of them down so they must have had an idea that you weren’t supposed to pick them up. I don’t mind them being touched infact I hope people do touch them but they can’t be picked up because some of them fold back into a flat book if they’re not stuck down. It kind of makes me want to stay there all the time to watch over them.

Finished setting up today. Hardly slept last night worrying about getting all the work up today, but I had nothing to worry about. It ran really smoothly. The only thing I’m not really happy about is where the write ups have been put. Because two of the pieces aren’t near the walls I’ve had to place one really low down on the edge of the plinth and the other isn’t very well presented either. Never mind, there could have been far worse things to contend with.

I was worried that I wouldn’t get my work hung but Carl was there as soon as I got into the gallery and he just got on with it by himself allowing me the time to get some of my other work ready.

Some of the children from work came to the gallery today for a visit as well which was nice because I spoke to some of them about my work.

first day of setting up has gone quite well. The ‘Forest: lungs of the World’ is done, but ‘Illegal Logging’ can’t be put out yet because i need to paint a plinth and ‘Pores for Thought’ can’t because Carl needs to hang it. The rest is being done on Wednesday along with the pri ting of the write ups. Which I need to go and get ready now and email to Mette.
